From time to time I like to search on the Internet stuff related to retro and vintage computing. This time my interest was (again) resolving around a wish to try Xenix. Namely, Xenix was a Unix variant written by Microsoft that could be run on IBM PC XT with 8086 microprocessor. While searching where to download Xenix, I stumbled on a WinWorld site which has many other vintage operating systems| Everything about nothing

If you’re like me and think motorcycles are cool, you probably know scramblers sit at the top of the pile: They epitomize all that is cool about two wheels, originally being built for motorcycle trials competitions in early 1900s Britain.| New Atlas
First manufactured in 1948, the original BSA Bantam was perhaps one of the most iconic two-wheelers that ushered in a new era of motorcycle culture. It was a pretty straightforward two-stroke single, coming in 125cc, 148cc, and 175cc capacities.| New Atlas

There isn't a lot to this story beyond the fact that in around 1990 I helped debug someone's Lotus 1-2-3 set up via fax. But it's a good reminder of how important the Zeroth Law of Debugging is (see below).| John Graham-Cumming's blog
I've written before about my 1976 KIM-1 and code I wrote for a similar one long ago. But I hadn't done much with the KIM-1 and strongly believe that old hardware need to be living machines not still lives. But using the KIM-1 directly (via its keypad and little hexadecimal display) is painful. I wanted to be able to use it with a terminal.| John Graham-Cumming's blog
It's not often that you find yourself staring at code that few people have ever seen, code that was an important part in bringing down the apartheid system in South Africa, and code that was used for secure communication using one-time pads smuggled into South Africa by a flight attendant on floppy disks.

tl;dr: No, not Windows¹, but I’ve decided to expand Infinite Mac to the the black hardware that Mac users secretly lusted after in the 80s and 90s: NeXT. There is now a runnable collection of all notable NeXTStep versions, going from the initial 0.8 preview in 1988 to the final OPENSTEP 4.2 release in 1997.| persistent.info
I had previously mentioned that I ended up fixing some DingusPPC CPU emulation bugs. This was my first time working at this (lower) level of the Infinite Mac emulators, and I thought it would be interesting to write up such an investigation.| persistent.info
One of my goals for Infinite Mac is to learn more about computer architecture and other fundamentals. While fiddling with actual old hardware is not as interesting to me (the one classic Mac I own is a PowerBook 550c that I turn on about once a year), I do enjoy operating at lower levels of the stack than I normally encounter. Interacting with the emulators that I’ve ported to Emscripten has definitely exposed me to more of this world, but it’s still been pretty superficial. Even the FPU ...| persistent.info
Infinite Mac has supported a limited form of persistence since its initial launch. This was done by exporting the contents of the “Saved” folder in “The Outside World” to IndexedDB when the emulator was shut down. While this worked, it had several limitations:| persistent.info

tl;dr: Infinite Mac has a new home at infinitemac.org. Using a new Emscripten port of Mini vMac, it is now able to run almost every notable version of Mac OS, from 1984’s System 1.0 to 2000’s Mac OS 9.0.4. The project is also now accepting donations (via GitHub Sponsors or PayPal).| persistent.info
I've come to think of Infinite Mac as my forever project. There's always something to work on, whether it's expanding the library, improving compatibility, adding more platforms, improvingperformance, debugging data structures, bridging APIs from 30 years ago with modern web platform features, or fighting with frontend tooling. With that in mind, here's where things stand at the end of the year — there have been quite a few changes since my last post on the project.| persistent.info
